I'm trying to get a "Buffalo"/Broadcom wireless-N PC card
up and running; I'm intending to use it for a bridge. In
contrast to FBSD (which I've already tried and failed to mod
to talk to this card), I found the device name on a DF page.
So I'm hoping DF supports it.
When I boot DF in the machine that has this PCI card installed,
the boot hangs after the "HOSTNAME" message, and I have to Ctrl-
C the thing for it to continue booting. Then it starts emitting
error messages:
This one several times:
sm-mta[595]: deamon Deamon0: problem creating SMTP socket
sm-mta[595]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendeamonsocket: deamon Deamon0:
cannot bind: Can't assign requested address.
And this one last:
sm-mta[595]: deamon Deamon0: problem creating SMTP socket
sm-mta[595]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendeamonsocket: deamon Deamon0:
server SMTP socket wedged: exiting
'pciconf -lv" returns this infomration on the card:
none0 at pci0:0:10:0: class=0x028000 card=0x03531154 chip=0x432914e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM43XNG 802.11n Network Adapter'
class = network
Are the errors a result of trying to talk with this card?
Can someone direct me as to what to do?
